Holy Moly ! I’ve been so busy lately. Trying to do a major spiritual cleanse by recommitting myself to my yoga practice, the breath and thinking before acting. With all the craziness in our lives, it’s important to step back and detach yourself from everything for a bit, just until you feel balanced once again, once you do, you’ll be fully charged and ready to come back like a total champion. 💪🏼💪🏼. How do you find your balance? .
To refuel, I had this firey cauliflower crust topped with @ithacacoldcrafted lemon & dill hummus + greens from @unsqgreenmarket + carrots + blood oranges 🍊 + pomegranate seeds & edible flowers 🌺 enjoy 💋

Some lunchtime inspiration for you guys! Throwing together a quick and healthy minute meal shouldn't be hard or time consuming, cuz honestly who has time for that shizz anyways?

This bowl consisted of 👉 vegan spinach bites (I get frozen ones from @strongrootsuk ), some cooked millet with tahini (millet takes 10-15 min to cook) and some mixed veg, beans and firm tofu sautéed all together in a pan. All served over some greens, with some gut-loving raw sauerkraut, and added some edible flowers just because 🌸

“Burnt” Brussels sprouts from @cucinarestaurants 😍 I could literally eat this entire portion and not share any and still feel no guilt 🤷🏻‍♀️ they’re that good!!

With the new year right around the corner, now is a good time to start thinking of New Years resolutions. Eating healthy and sustainably is a great resolution idea and there are lots of IG accounts you can follow for inspiration. 🙌🌱🎄 happy Monday everything!

GUYS IT’S SNOWING! Love this time of year when the snow is just fun and not frustrating. Enjoying these THICK flakes this A.M. ❄️❄️ Just made these MARZIPAN DRAGON FRUIT ENERGY BALLS! Just toasted skinned almonds for 15 mins at 180 degrees and blended them in the @thenutribullet with dried coconut + coconut sugar + @rawnice dragon fruit powder + agave + a bit of water and oat flour. I then covered a few in coconut flakes and let them chill for a half hour! They were so goooooood 💕💕💕

Yummy cornflour pupusas for lunch - well done chef! Made fresh by my @collegeofnaturopathicmedicine coursemate Arthur at his new Saturday stall @quinta_food @putneymarket Stuffed with black beans and cheese or chilli, served here with a side of plantain #glutenfree#marketfood#naturalchefs
Proud!👏🙌

How festive does my veg spaghetti 🍝 look!?🎄❤💚❤💚 hope you have a wonderful weekend!

So. I received an email tonight, which i didn't read right away because i was dining with my dearest friend @nauticalnorthwest at @burdockandco (omg...seriously...the celeriac terrine..the best food i have put in my mouth this year).
.
.
My book, The Art of Plant-Based Cheesemaking has, apparently, won in it's category (vegan cookbooks-English), the Canadian section of the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards...and now moves on to compete, in its category in the international competition, with winners being announced in May, 2018, in Yantai, China. .
.
They sent me a 'save-the-date', reserve my ticket for the ceremony, in case i plan to attend. .
.
There is no iteration of reality in which i could have imagined this would or could happen (given all the things i would change etc)...but am incredibly humbled, honoured and completely mind blown.
.
. To everyone who has bought the book so far and to all the students who have taken my courses, and all the cooks who tolerated me during the initial research phase...my gratitude and thanks. .
.
.

Okok, so I may have underestimated how tired I would be yesterday, so I just spent the evening moseying around the city, but I’ve got big plans today! Already finished up my flow @ritualhotyoga and getting myself ready to head over to Haight Ashbury ✌🏼. .
For brekkie before flying yesterday, I whipped up this cranberry & hibiscus smoothie yogurt cup! the smoothie was made with @piquetea (who is based in SF so only fitting!) + frozen cauliflower + cranberries + frozen peach + @malkorganics almond milk + vanilla extract and then had a layer of @coyo_is_coconuts natural yogurt. I then piled up some of the best almonds and walnuts I’ve ever eaten in my life from @sprutsnuts and topped it higher with cranberries. I know that there is a reflection on the class, but when I took the shot, I was happy to be reminded of sunshine ☀️ in these cold dark winter that are upon us, it’s always nice to have a subtle reminder of sunshine in your morning cup! Have a great day friends!

This healthy smoothie tastes just like a fig newton cookie. Brings me back to my childhood. A delicious blend of fights, yogurt, and cinnamon that will power you through your day. Click the link in my profile for the recipe.

Under all that coleslaw is a hotdog 🌭and it's all vegan ♥️. @mirandacafe in Crouch End is without a doubt my new favourite veggie cafe andddd they do vegan cakes too 😭🙌🏼💚

Annnnd I’m off to San Francisco! Just hanging there until Thursday. I have barely planned at all, so stay tuned to see what I get up to! 😁.
.
So, since I needed to use up all my produce before peace’n out ✌🏼I decided to use the last of my purple sweet potatoes to make my favorite cream sauce with @eatbanza 😛 I combine soaked cashews + two purple sweet potatoes + @earthbalance soy free butter + paprika + nutritional yeast + garlic powder + @malkorganics almond milk to thin it and make it creamier 😍 I then just topped it off with a purple radish and a few greens I found at @unsqgreenmarket this past week and @navitasorganics hemp seeds! Enjoy cuties 😍
